This is probably the best time for subscription meals. I hope you enjoy them! Please share if there are good ideas in the package. I'm in a bit of a food rut where I'm tired of most of my usual foods, it's too hot to cook, and trying to eat less and less meat. Then I saw a friend post about a mushroom and white bean gratin which sounds and looks great, so I think that's on this week's list. Also trying to buy more fruit to snack on because it's just so hot. It's low 90s here but it gets so darned humid.
Lots of homemade pizzas lately because every time I make ricotta I end up with a ton of whey, and that whey is in turn used to make pizza dough. Which freezes and thaws beautifully. Mom popped over to my place last week and as she left I was sharing frozen dough because I just keep making it. It's a funny gift to push into people's hands :-D
This week I'm thinking a large quinoa salad and another stir fry. Maybe some spicy paprika pork chops and potato salad. Strawberry scones, which will also freeze well. And granola/energy bars for my hikes with lots of pepitas and peanuts. I also have a weird craving for corn dogs so I might make those and onion rings on a day that I wish I was at the Fair.
To be honest I'm not interested in dating, but yep, still on Lex. I thought I would be wanting to and my interest is zero. I'm on the app because it's pretty funny and I appreciate how straightforward some folks are. Some are witty and make me laugh. Some are desperate and I shake my head and wish I could calm them. But I've come to a place where the idea of dating just does not interest me. It will happen when it should, but for now I can be comfortable with the fact that maybe I'm single for a very long time. Maybe I don't want anyone else long term. And maybe that changes soon, or far in the future. I'm okay with either.
My crush on my coworker dwindled authentically. It was good. I was attracted to her for a good long while and it was fun in my head and a great distraction. Then it just naturally faded. She's still someone I'd consider a casual friend and I do like her in that capacity. Nice to grab a beer with or chat. But my emotions caught up with my brain just as I knew they would in this instance.
May & DV - thank you for saying hi. May, I'm sorry I haven't popped into your sitch. I am still hiding but will try to head over soon. DV, I hope you're well.
Oh boy, wouldn't it be great if we could have a little hiking club? I would so want to hike with you all and maybe have a beer at the top. That sounds..really nice
